Race matters

The strange saga of race in T-Town

by Johnny Hildo

Race matters

As The Hollies sang, “The road is long/ with many a winding turn/that leads us to who knows where.” Who knows where. Such is the state of dialogue about race here in TTown.

Take His Esteemed Honorable Mayor, Dennis Michael Collins. During the campaign against an incumbent African-American mayor, Collins famously told the NAACP that racial profiling doesn’t exist in Toledo. As the crowd rumbled, Collins waxed poetic as only he can, about policy and FBI statistics.

When sitting Mayor, Mike Bell, was asked the same question about the existence of racial profiling, he gave a single word answer: “Yes.” Collins spent the remainder of the campaign trying to explain away his profiling denial with stories from the 1950s, of how delighted he was when his childhood neighborhood was first integrated. Not delighted enough to continue to live there into adulthood, of course, and Collins now lives in the lily-white bastions of South Toledo.

Driving while Black

The profiling-denier Collins fell backward into the mayor’s seat in the same Twenty Thirteen election that narrowly seated Councilman Larry Sykes. Sykes quickly proceeded to declare that he was pulled over by Toledo Police for what he claimed was no apparent reason. In a letter to the Chief of Police he went further, stating the only conceivable reason for being stopped was that he was “profiled.”

Condemnation was swift and severe. Police unions called for his resignation. Details of the traffic stop emerged. Sykes had no front plate, and his back plate, a vanity plate that translated to “Driving While Black,” was obscured by a plastic cover. Sykes removed the cover after the story went ballistic, and then spent weeks claiming he never said he was “racially” profiled, just “profiled.” No explanation on what basis. Then he said he was through talking about the incident.

Sykes has since changed his plate number to the random set of three letters and three numbers. And the issue of whether ra-

cial profiling is a problem in Toledo got pushed further into the closet.

Then came last year’s highly publicized deaths of African-American males at the hands of police in Ferguson, Staten Island, and Cleveland, coupled with nationwide protests, followed by the murder of two police officers in New York at the hands of a mentally ill man. And the rift between New York Mayor DeBlasio and the New York City Police Department, culminating in officers turning their backs during DeBlasio’s speeches at funerals for the slain policemen.

Enter the usual local suspects, The Activists. Or, The Opportunists. Local folks who latch onto the latest protest movement to satisfy their penchant for waving signs and chanting, seemingly without desire to do the hard work of social change—organizing average folks, working with policy makers, or developing proposals to make a difference at the local level. Screaming on street corners is so much more satisfying. And so much easier, as it avoids accountability.

There they were, predictably disrupting the MLK, Jr. Day event at UT, chanting “Hands up, don’t shoot” to a crowd of predominantly African-Americans before parading from the hall. Using an event organized by the hard work of others to sate their own egos.

We applaud that they reminded black citizens that black lives matter. It was just as meaningful as waltzing through a recent meeting of City Council to remind Council, with its five black members, that black lives matter. Sure wouldn’t have known it if The Activists hadn’t said so.

Dialogue now

Back to Old Man Collins. Never one to keep his ample foot out of his big mouth, he used the appointment of new Chief of Toledo Police, George Kral, to make his comments on the situation. Referring to the events in New York, he opined that DeBlasio turned his back on the New York police long before they ever turned their backs on him. He never explained how he would know, or why he felt the need to co-opt Kral’s big day to make his opinions known.

But Collins didn’t stop there. A former police officer, his voice rose to a whine as he blasted DeBlasio as just a “politician,” who has no idea what it takes to be a cop. Collins went on to slam elected officials as having no convictions, instead blowing in the wind to whichever position is most expedient. Apparently Collins, who blows harder than the most intense gale, forgot that he, too, is now an elected official, currently embroiled in stalled contract negotiations with the police union.

Not turning his back, though.

Kral, to his credit, took the opportunity to discuss the need to make sure there is a strong connection between the police and the community they serve. His speech was an eloquent and well-considered response to recent events focused on his tenure and the needs of Toledo.

That’s where we are in early Twenty Fifteen. A mayor who has no clue about race in the town he governs. Activists who would rather hoot and holler than make a difference.

A councilman who had the opportunity to start an important dialogue and lost it instead.

And a Chief of Police who wants that dialogue now. Perhaps we’ll make it after all.

UT partners with Cavs for Bow Tie Bracket Challenge At The University of Toledo, the bow tie is synonymous with the fight against prostate cancer.

As part of a new partnership with the Cleveland Cavaliers, The University of Toledo Bow Tie Bracket Challenge kicked off on Sunday, Jan. 25 and will run for four weeks. The co-branded promotion will encourage fans to vote for which Cavaliers personality best wears a bow tie.

Winners will advance to the next round in the bracket and a champion will be crowned during week four. The Bracket Bow Tie Challenge champion will be recognized when the Cavaliers take on the Celtics on Tuesday, March 3.

All fans who vote via cavs.com/tieoneon will be entered to win two floor seats to the Cavs vs. Boston Celtics game on Tuesday, March 3, where the bracket champion will be recognized. The winning fans will also earn two benchwarmer passes, a Cavaliers prize pack and a UT/Cavs bow tie designed specially for the event.

Thank You for Supporting Tie One On Toledo Men’s Basketball Coach Tod Kowalczyk, left, Ernie Johnson, host of “Inside the NBA” on TNT, center, and UT Vice President for External Affairs Lawrence J. Burns were among the more than 1,000 who donned bow ties or scarves Saturday for Tie One On. The fifth annual event raised more than $35,000 to fight prostate cancer. All proceeds benefit UT’s Eleanor N. Dana Cancer Center. The Rockets were hot on the court as Toledo downed the Bowling Green Falcons, 71-67, in front of a sellout crowd of 7,392 fans in Savage Arena.

Be Second Opinion Sure At the Eleanor N. Dana Cancer Center at The University of Toledo Medical Center, we encourage cancer patients to get all of the information they need in order to be comfortable and confident in their cancer treatment plan.

“Cancer, and the treatment that comes along with it, is life-changing. A patient should be as educated as possible about his or her options,” said Dr. Samay Jain, UT assistant professor, division chief of urologic oncology and medical director of the Urology Clinic.

“At our center, a Second Opinion conveniently allows a patient to speak with multiple cancer specialists in one visit and receive a wealth of information.”

What are the benefits of a Second Opinion? n confirmation of diagnosis n awareness about new options n confidence in your treatment plan n suggestions for alternatives or additions to your existing treatment plan “Many patients end up traveling to other regional cities for treatment, when often times they can receive the same or better care right here, in their own backyard from specialists who are leaders in their respective fields,” Jain said. “We want patients to know that we are a resource for the community and strive to keep Toledo healthy.”

For more information, call the Eleanor N. Dana Cancer Center at 419.383.6644 or visit utmc.utoledo.edu/secondopinion.

Humanities Happy Hour Join The Humanities Institute at The University of Toledo for free food and free intellectual inquiry. Happy Hour events take place from 5-8 p.m. in Libbey Hall on UT’s Main Campus and are open to the public.

s k c a H city

by Kelly Thompson and Athena Cocoves

Everyone wants to know how to do something faster, better, more efficiently. And sometimes there are little good-to-know tricks—“hacks”—that make essential day-to-day living that much better (or even cheaper!). Whether you want to travel, get a new ‘do, or get rid of all the old stuff in your garage, here are a few tips to make 2015 your year to get things done.

YOU WANT TO:

Travel To A New Place Get a passport or renew your old one

Apply for a new passport with form DS-11, online at travel.state.gov. You may also apply in person at the County Clerk’s offices in downtown Toledo (1600 Madison Ave., next to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles), Maumee (4456 Heatherdowns Blvd.), Sylvania (4900 McCord Rd.) and Oregon (3034 Navarre Ave.). These offices provide photo services as well.

A passport application takes approximately 4-6 weeks to process, but plan ahead! If you’ve already booked tickets for a honeymoon and haven’t allowed at least 8 weeks for processing, you may want to request expedited processing when you apply, which can speed the process up to 3 weeks (requested by mail) or even 8 days (requested in-person). New standard passports cost $135; standard renewals are $110, with a $60 fee for expedited services.

A passport photo has to be 2x2 in size and full-color. No uniforms, hats, wigs or nonprescription glasses are allowed. If you wear glasses all the time, you should wear them in the photo. Have the

photo taken at one of the offices listed above, as they’re aware of the specs.

Selfies are a no-go.

Travel for less

By bus: The TARTA bus system and CALL-A-RIDE (also by TARTA) both offer one-way fares for $1 or 1 token for adults. Children under 6 years ride for free, and seniors 55+ are eligible for additional discounts. Monthly passes are $40, and available at select locations in the city, such as Monroe Pharmacy (4122 Monroe St.) and the Madison branch of PNC Bank (405 Madison Ave.). CALL-A-RIDE services Maumee, Sylvania and Sylvania Township, Ottawa Hills, Rossford and Waterville. See tarta.com for comprehensive schedules and pass details.

By megabus: Perhaps the cheapest of all out-of-state travel options, Toledo is lucky to be one of only four cities in Ohio to have Megabus service (Columbus, Cincinnati and Cleveland are the others). Even if you’re planning to travel on the weekend, round-trip prices are extremely reasonable, especially if you’re okay with a red-eye departure. Free wi-fi is included.

(As ofJanuary 2015): Chicago - $50 Cleveland - $20 New York City - $60 State College, PA (home of Penn State) - $40

IF YOU WANT TO:

GET THE MOST FROM CITY RESOURCES

Get involved or use a community garden (Take the concrete out of the jungle)

With nearly 200 community gardens in the area, it is very likely you have driven by a patch of cultivated land and wondered how to get involved. Even surrounded by concrete, Toledo has options to let your produce dream bloom while feeding the hungry, beautifying neighborhoods and bringing the community together.

For those looking to get their hands dirty, roll up your sleeves and contact Toledo GROWS (toledogarden.org), a community gardening outreach program through the Toledo Botanical Gardens, for info on local gardens to your home.

Some gardens, like The University Church (TUC) Garden (theuniversitychuchtoledo.org), offer

Note: Most trips depart from the University of Toledo Scott Park Campus, and times vary. See us.megabus.com for schedules and more info.

By train: Toledo’s AMTRAK station is a launch for passengers, whether for work or play. The station is serviced by many routes, and if you plan in advance, you can find round-trip fares for $80 to Chicago and $70 to Pittsburgh. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Plaza, 415 Emerald Ave. tickets.amtrak.com

Tamara D. Willingham

Owner, Tamara TCM Wellness Clinic 27068 Oakmead Drive 419-345-4996, tamaraspa.com

Most underrated fitness activity in the 419: Pilates at Body Define!

I am over halfway through the 40 day program and really seeing significant changes in my shape. Clothes that have been hanging in my closet for years ( I will not admit how many) are beginning to fit again. I have more energy, though lack of it was never really a problem for me. I also just 'feel' lighter and more agile.

Simple tasks and movements are easier.

The most curious thing about this process is that I have not been hungry. The food plan is straight forward and simple to understand and I have had no trouble following it precisely, while eating out frequently - several nights a week and most weekday lunches. I have begun to pay closer attention to portion sizes in the restaurants that I visit, and they are enormous.

The plan allows a serving of protein and vegetable, prepared simply, at both lunch and dinner, along with several fruits each day. I do have to think ahead for meal planning, both at home and when considering eating in a restaurant, but that has really been a plus. For too many years I just didn't give my eating habits much thought, and look where that got me.

When I resolve to maintain my body at a lower, more manageable weight as I travel through middle age ( it is flying by) these are things that I will need to consider, but not dwell on. Nick Dumas has been supportive and available without being punitive or threatening. I truly feel like I have a partner while making this journey. I am conscious of the food restrictions I have during this 40 days, but they are not overwhelming or difficult. I look forward to completing the program and continued successes.

Bleu Smoke Bar & Grill is not a barbeque joint, and certainly not a vapor lounge. Though menu selections are varies, customers can find consistency in each dish’s home-cooked quality, complemented by the familial atmosphere.

Located on the corner of Airport and Albon, the former home of the Albon Inn exudes a cozy vibe. Painted wood paneling and French doors are balanced with modern touches—granite bar tops, stone backsplash—creating a pleasant scene to enjoy classic comfort dishes with a twist.

Family ideals

The eatery may be new (opened in September 2014), but owners Charles Kema, Brian Ruff and Chris Zdunski have a collective thirty-plus years of restaurant experience. Avoiding corporate practices is important to these three, foregoing the ease of frozen and lower-quality products, instead favoring real food and real recipes.

“If I wanna go out, it’s because I don’t want to cook at home. But I still want a home-cooked meal,” said Kema.

Everyone is greeted warmly, and it’s clear that some visitors are regulars. But the staff prides themselves on listening, even adding an item to the menu (Chili Mac) per customer suggestion. “We genuinely care about the people who come in here, from the customers to the employees,” Kema stated.

Something for everyone

Two friends joined me in the cozy

dining room for dinner on a Friday night. In place of conventional bread and butter, bleu cheese hushpuppies were delivered to the table. This Southern treat, accompanied by a sweet and sour sauce, can make non-fans of the stinky cheese reconsider, myself included. We started with Alfredo Nachos ($7.99), a nice juxtaposition between a creamy sauce and crispy potato (yes, potato).

The Chicken Fajitas ($10.99) were served with a mildly spiced sour cream.

The signature Teriyaki Ginger Chicken ($10.99) was almost two full breasts with a side of Parmesan potatoes; a good complement to the sweet chicken. The Pulled Pork Burger ($10.99—pictured above) was tender but not soggy, and served on a seeded bun.

The food tasted fresh, and the portions were more than generous.

Though we were full, we ordered a slice of decadent cheesecake ($5.99) to enjoy at home. Service was quick, and staff was incredibly friendly, even accommodating, when my friend wanted to switch one of his side dishes.

Bleu Smoke also has a full bar with a constantly changing selection of ten craft beers on tap. And with a DJ on Friday nights, few other places cater to such a wide crowd—though everyone can enjoy an authentic family feel.

Jennifer Cooper says her role as Susannah is a “personal” one.

Considering the musical tradition, some styles are more similar than others. Sure, reflection might be easy in 2015; vapor-wave (whatever that means) came and went, but how similar could Appalachian folk and opera possibly be?

Apparently, the genres are not too far apart. In 1955, 24-year-old composer Carlisle Floyd melded these traditions and premiered his first opera, Susannah.

Floyd’s approachable production earned him the New York Music Critics Circle Award for Best New Opera in 1956.

Two years later, Susannah was chosen to represent American music and culture at the 1958 World’s Fair.

“In a sense, Susannah is the American Opera,” said Robert Mirakian, assistant director of Toledo Opera and stage manager for Susannah. “One of the reasons we are doing this show is to give people something newer.”

With an Americanized sound, a 1955 Tennessee setting and casual use of the English language, Susannah is significantly less intimidating than the standard opera classics.

Even those who might think “allegro” is a misspelling of “allergy” will enjoy the story that playfully responds to mid-century political paranoia. “It sounds American . . . with open intervals, prominent brass, lush string textures . . . it’s just really good music,” Mirakian said.

Director Sean Cooper is looking forward to the production and is passionate about Susannah’s unique qualities. “It respects the audience enough to allow them to come to their own conclusions. There is purposeful ambiguity,” he said.

The opera is driven by narrative, not by sound. Floyd does not create a story around pieces of music. “It feels like a play

www.toledocitypaper.com

or movie,” Cooper explained. “It is cinematic. The story unfolds at the purpose of the drama.”

The Toledo Opera boasts a few special draws to this upcoming production. The famous Samuel Ramey will appear in a role he has long mastered, Jennifer Goode Cooper will grace the stage and and occupy a role she is highly anticipating, Sean Cooper—a Toledo Opera mainstay—will take over for his directorial debut, and the majority of the supporting cast will feature Toledo locals.

Along with big-name stars, The Toledo Opera will engage new technologies at the benefit of the fast-paced production with short acts and frequent scene changes. A projection screen will provide cinematic quality and the orchestra will be onstage.

The singer’s performances will be intimate, all within 14 feet of the stage’s edge.

Jennifer, a Bowling Green resident, will star as Susannah, a role with an aria that she’s been keeping in her repertoire.

“I’ve wanted to the play this role since I first learned it in college,” Cooper told me. “I’ve won competitions with this; I received a grant from the Kurt Weill foundation for this production, and the role is personal to me. I grew up in Tennessee and I relate to Susannah’s thoughts of getting out and her simultaneous wanting to experience the world and warmth for her home. I connect to her hopefulness.”

To kick off the weekend early, “Take a Shot at Opera!” and join the Toledo Opera at 5:30pm on Wednesday, January 28 at Registry Bistro (144 N. Superior) for speciality shots of moonshine and live music.

Tickets start at $30. 7:30pm, Friday, February 13.

An original classic

Join an evening screening of the 1962 classic drama Cape Fear (not the Scorsese remake!), starring big names Robert Mitchum, Gregory Peck and Polly Bergen. The thriller is a classic revenge tale with a twist: Lawyer Sam Bowden (Peck) is stalked and threatened by ex-con Max Cady (Mitchum), whom he helped to convict, putting his wife Peggy (Bergen) and 14-year-old daughter in danger. The film was controversial due to violent content when it was released, and some critics have dubbed it the “best non-horror horror movie.”

Fun fact: the infamous “egg scene” was improvised on-set by the director, and the horrified reaction by Bergen’s character isn’t an act. 7:30pm, Friday, January 30. Valentine Theatre, 410 Adams St. 419-242-2787, valentinetheatre.com. — KT

Close to 200 items will be on display, including drawings, experimental books and sculpture. Check out the accompanying exhibit, “Werner Pfeiffer Selects” in the Works on Paper Gallery, a display of work by artists who most influenced Pfeiffer, chosen by the artist himself.

Artist Peter Rinjo DeWood first encountered the ancient, scriptural art of Zenga—the Japanese art of Zen Buddhist ink painting and calligraphy—five years ago.

“The moment I began seeing these kind of images I was captured with it in a way I can’t explain,” DeWood said.

See the paintings for yourself during Beads & Books’ first art show, Nothing Missing, and listen to DeWood talk about the spiritual influences of his art. Focusing on capturing ambiguities and producing gestural paintings, DeWood started his series of Zen-influenced paintings.

“This comes from a place of spiritual process. It is as much mindful as mindless. I’m trying not to put thought in it,” DeWood said. Through February 28. Opening from 7-10pm, Saturday, February 7. Beads & Books, 4925 Dorr St. Suite A. 419-350-1087. beadsandbooks419.com

Modern state of mind TSO’s triptych of American triumph

by Jeff Berry

Pink Martini is a band with a reputation for going where many pop bands won’t—all over the place. From Nina Simone to Count Basie and ‘50s lounge music, the neo-swing band blurs the boundaries between genres. On February 6 and 7, the Toledo Symphony Orchestra will join forces with Pink Martini members Thomas Lauderdale (founder and pianist) and Storm Large (vocals) of the internationally renowned band—a self-described “little orchestra”—with a dozen members fusing musical genres such as classical, latin, jazz and pop.

The performance will feature George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue and other selected pieces from the composer’s songbook, along with classic pop music. The Toledo Symphony Orchestra (TSO), under the direction of Stefan Sanderling, will bring audiences an unforgettable, three-part performance that tips its hat to the jazz legend.

Sanderling, TSO’s Principal Conductor and a Pink Martini fan, invited Lauderdale to play with TSO. “Intelligent programming is very important. It’s not just Pink Martini, it’s Pink Martini meets classics,” Sanderling said.

The concert will take place at TSO’s home, The Peristyle at the Toledo Museum of Art. In order to enhance the concert experience and bring more visibility to the audience, TSO recently added large HD screens to the stage. Through February, WGTE cameras will roll, capturing the stage action and projecting images onto the screens. According to Ashley Mirakian, director of marketing for TSO, this will add to the positive audience experience. “[The screens are] concert enhancement. Our hope is to create a more immersive environment. This is something we’ve never done before,” Mirakian said. “We want audience feedback and we want to update the experience.”

In addition to the Pink Martini performance, TSO will perform Dave & Chris Brubecks’ Ansel Adams: America, a 22-minute, one-movement, Grammy-nomi-

PLAY BOOK

Club President Scott Piroth teaches a Learn to Curl at BGSU.

Giving life to an old sport Bowling Green carries the curling tradition

by Dorian Slaybod

The Bowling Green State University Ice Arena was quiet. The only sounds were the droning hums of refrigeration and the light scratch of round stones that looked like mini bumper cars sliding along the ice. Voices were muffled as teammates in matching blue fleece discreetly strategized in the chilled air.

Sharon Gargasz, a veteran player, followed a cue from her husband and teammate, Ron, on where to aim. She released the stone with a twist of her wrist, slightly spinning it counter-clockwise as it moved across the ice.

Then a shout: “Sweep! Sweep!” Two women with brooms in their hands quickly sidestepped to keep up with the stone as it slid. They swept brashly back and forth as hard as they could, as though they were trying to remove a stain from deep in the ice. Then came a sharp, clear clank as a red-marked stone hit a blue, knocking the blue stone away as the red came to rest in the scoring area. It was a perfect hit.

A historic sport

Curling has been a sport since at least the 16th century, according to the World Curling Federation, when a monk in Scotland challenged a relative of the clergy to push stones across a frozen pond.

The sport later found a natural home in Scandinavia, as well as in Canada and the northern U.S. Curling is now played around the world, and in the Olympics, while official stones are still made from granite found in Scotland.

A curling rink is 138 feet in length, with concentric circles at each end called a “house.” Players take turns pushing stones from one side to the other, attempting to land them as close as they can to the center of the house. Players sweep in order to heat and speed up the ice, causing the stone to move more quickly as it nears the target. The team with the stone closest to the center of the house at the end of each round, called an

www.toledocitypaper.com

“end,” scores a point for every stone that landed closer to the center than the other team’s closest stone. After eight ends, the team with the most points wins.

Blood spilled

I competed in a match against other beginners during one of the club’s “Learn to Curl” events. I was struggling—my curls kept curling away from the house, and I kept finding myself inexplicably falling onto my back after every throw, staring at the ceiling.

As I lamented letting my team down, I saw another player slip on the ice. Before he could brace his fall, his face smacked directly onto a stone as he fell head-first.

He sat up immediately as blood began to pour from his face so quickly and profusely that his hands couldn’t hold it all. An EMT squad came and carried him out to a nearby hospital, where I was told he was treated for only minor injuries. The rest of us played on, more sober than before.

A proud club

The Bowling Green Curling Club was founded in 1968, and has sent its members to competitions, called “Bonspiels,” all over the world. Its members have even competed in the Olympic trials. Cameron Roehl, a 16-year-old high school student, will be competing this year at the Junior World Championships.

“Curlers are just generally nice people,” said Shannon Orr, vice president of the Club and a professor at Bowling Green State University. She’s found a semblance of that society in Bowling Green—the club has 90 active members, who play in leagues each year from October through March. Winners buy beers for the losers after each match— they put down their brooms and stones, and talk about curling, and everything else.

Dorian Slaybod is an attorney happily living in Toledo.

LIBRA

(September 23-October 22)

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You are always one step ahead of everyone else. The month of February is no exception. You are filled with energy and courage. Take a chance and win your Super Bowl bet and win again when the full moon shines the 3rd.

You work hard to maintain your balance and even get up early the 2nd to see what the Groundhog is doing. The full moon the 3rd has you making plans for the upcoming holidays, but don’t finalize them until the 11th.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Watch the

SCORPIO

Super Bowl and skip watching the Groundhog.

The light of the full moon wakes you up the 3rd and you consider making changes at home.

New furniture? Carpeting? Paint? Make plans but take no action.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) It is a good

(October 23-November 21)

Start your month watching the Super Bowl.

Then your curiosity takes you outside (or to the TV) to see if the Groundhog sees his shadow.

Stay up late that night to see the full moon.

Stay close to home the 7th and 8th.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 20) You are such an incurable optimist. This

thing there are two of you right now. Enjoy the ball game and the Groundhog. Watch your driving on the 3rd because Big Brother will be watching you. A party the 7th is fantastic – you either host or attend.

may be tested in February. Of course you watch the Super Bowl, the Groundhog, and the full moon. Keep your calendar in one hand and phone in the other so you don’t “overbook.”

CANCER (June 21-July 22) January ends romantically. It is too bad there are only 28 days in February because each day looks terrific. Your team wins the Super Bowl. Get up early to watch the Groundhog. Talk to your accountant – but wait to make changes.

You win your Super Bowl bet. Your partner decides whether you get up to see the Groundhog. You decide whether to stay up for the full moon. Make plans to work on your budget before the 11th.

LEO (July 23-August 22) You enjoy the

AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18)

VIRGO (August 23-September 22) The 28th through the 31st are confusing. You are eager to get back on schedule the 2nd.

Compliments come your way and you shop the 7th and 8th. Keep your receipts as exchanges may be necessary.

PISCES (February 19-March 20) Your team wins so bet on the Super Bowl. The full moon the 3rd lights up your good health.

Proper diet and exercise do wonders for you.

Meet new people at a party the 7th. Begin making plans the 9th for the coming holidays.

remaining January days. February is short but packed with holidays and parties. Watch football, the Groundhog, and dance by the light of the full moon the 3rd. Watch overspending after the 7th.

CAPRICORN (December 21-January 19)

Give serious thought to your future success.

Just remember to take time to enjoy the present. Enjoy the birthday parties, cards, and gifts. Happily your schedule will be much easier after the 11th.

CELEBRITY AQUARIANS

Bubble Wrap was introduced when the sun was in the sign of Aquarius.

The people seem to “pop” easily when squeezed also. Ashton Kutcher and Jennifer Aniston celebrate. Locally Suzanne Carroll of 101.5 The River and Bob Chirdon the Boss at Channel 11 also light candles.

Sue Lovett is available for personal astrology readings and private parties.

STYLE SENSE

photos by Christine Senack

Interview by Jordan Killam

Ben and Bri Gibson

Bri is the General Manager at The Flying Joe CoffeeHouse in Perrysburg, and Ben is a Development Engineering Technician at First Solar, also in Perrysburg.

Jackie-O’s Tap Takeover The Pub at the Paula Brown Shop hosted a Tap Takeover Fundraiser, with proceeds returning to Athens, Jackie O’s hometown, to help workers and businesses displaced by a fire in November.

Sophia Karageorge and Katie Schlaker from Jackie O’s, Peter Brown, Bobby DeSeyn from Cavalier Distributing and Paula Brown.

What do you think defines style in the 419?

Bri: I think style in Toledo is both

aesthetic and practical. A lot of people our age are part of the working class, so many of us are aesthetically inclined to lean toward utilitarian clothing and strong stylish accents.

Ben: We live in a time where there are options, and it’s easy to be well puttogether.

G9 exhibit

The annual signature exhibit opened on Friday, January 16 at Hudson Gallery, and showcases the work of 9 local artists.

Married couple Ben and Bri Gibson were spotted underneath the “You Will Do Better in Toledo” sign at Wesley’s Bar on Adams Street during its eponymous celebration on December 17, 2014. Ben’s style is clean and urbane, while Bri’s look is a bit more soft and whimsical. They both advocate shopping local, whether they’re looking for vintage or contemporary pieces. Vintage addicts, heed Bri’s recommendations!

Artists Ryan Thompson, left, and Adam Sanzenbacher

Where do you like to shop locally?

Bri: I’ll shop anywhere, though I tend

to lean heavily toward vintage style, so some of the first places I’ll check are The Maumee Antique Mall, Great Finds in Maumee, and the Carriage House

in Perrysburg for jewelry or accessories. A few days ago, I realized how much Jupmode I have in my closet, so I guess my wardrobe is a little more eclectic than I initially thought.

In terms of clothing or accessories, what are the fashionable must-haves for winter in Toledo?

Bri: I think everyone needs a good, obscenely large scarf. It’s practical and stylish! I mean, it doubles as a blanket if my car dies.

Ben: A well-fitted button-up peacoat.

If money were no object, what fashion item would you own in a heartbeat?

Bri: I would buy Audrey Hepburn’s film career closet in a heartbeat.

Ben: A European-styled tailored suit.
